post number 60 whoop whoop!

where to start, its been a while since i last posted.

Hayley's post #1...
firstly as you know we have been using both the background for the set, so it wasn't a waste of time for either of you, which is always a good thing.
yeah it is aparent that we have been a bit ambitious, and there are many ways in which we could have aproached the project that might have been easier, but who knows. we're here now so lets just work with what we've got. the stuff we've produced so far, allbeit minnimal, does look pretty good and if we work hard hopefully we'll get it done.
sorry about the camera hayley, i didn't actually mean to leave it in uni, if i had i would have left the charger, but done well for gettin on.

Jordan's post...
i beat you to it with that little gem of a music vid, was one of my first posts i think.

James's post...
those dungerees really did the trick, bills looking sutably awesome, which is nice.

i think if we put a bit more time into it, that float shot could work, but as grace said we might avoid this shot if it becomes too much work, good job for such a short amount of time.

Grace's post...
the boats lookin good, although as we found out the depth wasn't figured out correctly (sorry about that), but thats been sorted out now.
One thing about Paul S's walk is that it needs arm movement, that aside, nice work on the animation.

Hayley's post #2...
I do agree with hayley on the shirt, they shouldn't have been cut off so hastely. but i don't think there gonna fall apart and there would be no reason to point figures if they did, everyones doing the best they can with what they have and learning as they go, and that all you can really ask of someone.

Grace's post #2...
good job on the turn arounds. and its nice to see some of the trees, the only thing is if we're wanting to use them for blue screening we might have to do them again, as they might need to be from a lower angle and off the set so that theres no twigs in the background.

That shuffle walkin came in handy the other day, i agree with grace that this is the way foward for alot of the shots with most/all of the band in, although it woul be nice to have some full band walking we probably don't have the time.

What have i been doing...

i've been workin on the schedual quite a bit lately, and although its been hard to keep to it for the past couple of days, i'll e-mail everyone an updated version by the end of today. also, i was thinking its gonna be very hard to complete this by the 23rd so i think we should be prepaird to move the sets to another location and continue after christmas. The options we have here are either Ben's spair room or my room. I'm lucky enough to have quite a big bedroom and i think it wouldn't be hard to fit one or both of the sets in my unused floor space (i also have a spare table to put it on already in my room). So we can either have one at mine and one at bens or both at one persons, the only thing is that we only have one set of lights. what does everyone think about this?

Bill's head development....


Heres a test animation of Bill, firstly the aspect raitio is wrong because i shot it with the camera too close, so when i re-scaled it too much was cropped off, also the table props and chair move at points, so i need to make sure to stick everything down next time and it could do with a few more inbetweens. Overall, although it has its fualts i am quite pleased with the outcome.



Well heres a test i've done for the blue screen walking camera pan shot, i used the animation hayley did of Niel walking in front of the blue screen, a photo of the set i found on my hard drive, and the foreground trees from the animatic with a few ajustments.





As you can see its far from perfect but it only took a max of an hour to complete, from figuring it out to final render; and as you can see, i used quite a poor image for the background with terrilble lighting and the foreground trees are 2D, so with a little bit more work i think it could work really well. what does everyone think?

woow that was a long post for those of you who made it this far, thanks for puttin the time in.
